Stage 2 reading - Sequencing imaginative texts

Learning intention

Students will learn to sequence events in imaginative texts. Students will identify a chronological sequence of events. Students will use vocabulary cues, such as temporal connectives, and images to accurately summarise and sequence.

Syllabus outcome

National Literacy Learning Progression

Understanding texts

  • UnT6: scans texts to locate specific information in a predictable print text  (comprehension); uses cohesive devices to connect ideas or events (e.g. tracks pronoun referencing) (see Grammar)   (process)

  • UnT7: monitors the development of ideas using language and visual features (e.g. topic sentences, key verbs, graphs) (comprehension)

  • UnT8: uses knowledge of cohesive devices to track meaning throughout a text (e.g. connectives such as however, on the other hand) (see Grammar) (process)
